| OBJECT: |
Disperse 14,000 lbs. of zinc oxide into water and Darvan* surfactant for insulator manufacturing.
|
|
PROBLEM:
|
The required amount of zinc oxide to make a 2,000 gallon batch could not be accomplished without plugging up the alternative dispersion device. |
|
RESULT:
|
Continuous dispersion of 100 pounds per minute at 48% solids was completely wetted out without any lumps or agglomerates. |
|
AB MIXER:
|
Model D-6000 ARDE Dispershear with Super-Sack System to deliver powder in dust free environment.
|
|
Benefit:
|
D-6000 Dispershear operates in a recirculation loop to a process mixing vessel using the CSTR principle (Continuous Stirred Reactor). Since no lumps are propagated, a continuous process is trouble free. |

EQUIPMENT REPLACED:
|
